Hi all,
We take delivery of a 2008 HL 16-49.1 Expanda next week and cant wait to get it out and about - and revel in how much room we have compared to our old Finch! Were looking into Annex walls at the moment. From what I can tell it has the standard Jayco roll out Awning (or is it a Dometic one?!?).
We can get Annex walls that use a buckle system (like a Wilfords Annex) that work out $400 cheaper than walls with a anti-flap bar on each end. I put a few calls in and someone mentioned that the buckles are better for the pop-top Expanda because there are issues with mounting the brackets to the van for the anti-flap bar to connect to? Sounds a little strange?
Eitherway, any feedback on the pitfalls/benefits of either? The obvious one I can think of is you can still use the anti flap bars without the walls on windy days - but the buckle system is a lot easier to carry?
Cheers!
